i thought about having a spaceship that could clash into a planet then make itself into a factory and it could also transport a certain amount of troops too probably will be a mod at one point.. it just sounds so epic in a way! you could siege planets with big factories like one of these http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Lucrehul ... _Core_Ship
An orbital factory would be interesting, perhaps it's already planned. Not sure if the orbital units will be geostationary, but if not, the factory could drop the units onto a target area in groups, each time it passes over that spot. Or fire them at appropriate trajectories to land in the desired spot. How cool would that look!
Another factor would be units dropping (from whatever source) in the middle of another base; not sure how the balance of that would work. I guess the AA fire would be the defence against that, and perhaps they use parachutes to break their fall which would also give AA an opportunity to have some effect.
I'd think break jets. Would allow them to move still instead of being floating feathers. Some sort of 'anti-orbital' units or buildings would make sense. Such as nuke defense (Or some other ballistics) or even high intensity lasers. The mass/energy artillery would be interesting. Almost sounds like some sort of terraforming unit. Which would be amazing, by the way.
We have most of the initial "getting to orbit" mechanisms figured out, though there will likely be many more. The main issue right now is getting all the systems in place to support it. Which is just time consuming.
